Whenever I stumble across a song I like on youtube I download it into my personal music folder, I started this practice more than 4 years ago and I accumulated a large amount of socialist music from very niche spaces, spanning across a wide variety of languages. Because I see that nobody else is doing this specific thing on this site, I feel compelled to share this collection track by track, maybe it will lead to someone else also feeling the same inspiration that I felt when first listening to it.

Song 1 is from what I discovered to be a modern band, explicitly leftist in its messaging and based in Turkey of all places. All of their songs are in Turkish, but some of them will be immediately familiar as they were made with a melody picked up from one of the classics, but with a modern twist. Aim is based on the melody of Die Arbeiter von Wien, which is also based on the melody of White Army, Black Baron, both famous revolutionary songs. The title "Aim" is just the initials of Avusturya İşçi Marşı, Austrian Worker's March in English.

I loved this song since I first discovered it, the lyrics are about the struggle for the socialist vision of a better tomorrow, how it transcends borders, language or religion and how eventual victory is assured.
